The Old Southern Gentleman.

Washington Correspondence n. Y. Star.
There is something pathetic in the
appearance, habits and mode oflife OF
a certain type of the Southerner
stranded here. Right here ! must say
that the Colonel" who infests the
corridors OF the hotel is not my man,
On the contrary, he is altogether a
different sort OF character. He is un.
conventional and questionable to a
degree in his dress, and will probably
wear, little one side, slouched hat,
caved in on top, pulled down in front
and pulled up behind, to the end OF his
days. A silk hat to him is suggestive
OF negro minstrel band parading
the town or drummer for a
paper-colar company. He wears
black silk tie from one generation to
another, and wore rufiled shirt
bosom in his youth. His coat is al.
ways double breasted black broad.
cloth, with trousers to match, and
both garments looked well worn and
ill fitting. Nothing would induce him
to wear his coat buttoned up, and
his vest never is entirely buttoned,
His linen is always clean, his voice
quiet and low, and his manner is a
quaint mixture OF oldfashloned defer
ence and gallantry.
Nothing could be more delightful
than his manner to women. II they
were so many valuable peachblow
vases he couldn't exhibit greater care
and appreciation OF their persons,
wishes and characters. His reverence
for the petticoat is religion with him.
His prehistoric compliments and de-
ferential bearing when in their com
pany is relic OF the Chesterfield era
CT department. He goes but little in
to society and looks upon it us a
well-dressed mob only. Now and
then he will be seen at n reception,
looking very shy and lonely, while the
fashionable whirl is surging around
him, and he will make few depreca-
tory, nervous efforts to take a hand
in the exercises, but will end by slip
ping out as quietly as he slipped in.
He may have been in Congress and GER
tainly was in the war, and his record
is brave and clean. He is always
"kin to the quality" where he came
from. He has, however, long since drift
ed away from his former provincial
moorings, and been washed ashore
and may be wrecked here, where his
friends, his cousin, the Senator, or his
nephew, the member, or his class
mate at West Point or the universe
ty, has secured him snug head of a
bureau or chief of division place in he
department OF exterior or senile ser.
vice. .. 4 ,s.it....t
He lives in n pretty little house in
an out of-the-way quarter, oblivious
of the questionable neignborhood
and indifferent to the hallowed ground
OF the British Embassy and its power
to give him caste or tone. His circle
is small, his recreations few. 4 visit
now and then to the Virginia Springs,
where he meets an army OF kin and
regiment OF people who have the high
est regard for him and fancy him a
great Washington magnate seeking re-
pose from the Titanic intellectual
combats with the great OF the land
with whom he is supposed to enter
tain the closest and most chum-ike !
when, in TACT. he has long
since lost sight OF them all.

Only Big Enough for Mice.

The whole town is laughing at an
other saying of a prominent society
lady. This lady occupies one Of the
most spacious mansions at the capital.
Her husband is a man of unlimited
wealth, and he fondly gratifes her ev-
cry social ambition. Not long ago this
lady was holding one Of her regular af-
ternoon receptions, when one Of the
company causually remarked that she
had tried about everything, but her
residence continued to be overrun with
rats. The hostess replied that that
was unfortunate, but she said her house
was so small that she was only troubled
with mice. General Sheridan knows
the name of this lady, for at one of her
dinner parties she screamed across the
table and informed him that he was not
eating his oysters after the most ap-
proved fashion. The hero of Winches-
ter retreatel and has never been guest
there since.

such way as to impress the child
deeply. The effort was quite exhaust

The Monarch Of the Sea.

Ocean travel, writes Frank G. Car
penter, is rapidly changing, and the
steamboat is improving as fast as the
railroad tram. The first ocean steamer
was built near New York in 1919, and
she made q trip across the Atlantic one
year later. She was named the Sa-
vannah; she was of $50 tons burden,
and when she came into Liverpool, af-
ter passage Of twenty five days, she
was the wonder of all the world. The
big ocean steamship Of today is of from
1000 to 5000 tons, and she makes her
passage from New York to Queenstown
IN from six days ard a few hours to
twelve and thirteen days. Some ship
owners now assert that the passage
across the Atlantic will soon be made
in four days, and the engineer of this
vessel tells me the fast ocean travel is
fully as safe, though more expensive
than slow travel. The coal consumed
by the seven days steamers is nearly
three times as much as that consumed
by the ten days steamers, and fuel is
ne OF the largest items in the cost Of
steamship travel. Some of the fast
Cunard steamers burn $40 tons of coal
day, whereas the City Of Richmond,
of about the same size, but ten days
steamer, requires only 100 to ITO tons
per day. 1t costs about SIS ton to
buy this coal and put it in the furnaces
of the ships engines go that the differ.
ence between the seven days steamers
in the cost of coal alone is over $1,000
per day. Can you appreciate how
much 800 tons Of coal a day means?-
Fifteen tons OF coal is yearly allow
ance for small family in an eight
room house. The daily consumption
of the Etruria would keep twenty suoh
families for year, and the 1900 tons
which this ship carries on each trip
would more than supply a village Of
eighty families for that time.
The coal is stored in great vaults,
and fifty four men are required to put
it in the furnaces. The ship has TWEEN
ty-seven furnaces, each of which is as
big around as ton of hay on farmers
wagon and about twice as long.
They are away down in the bottom
of the ship, and as crept in and out
among them, by the aid of the chief
engineer and lantern, and saw the blaze
of their entrance, felt the consuming
heat of their surroundings, and talked
with tho sweaty, sultry men who were
kept at them all day shoyeling coal,
Dante's Inferno did not SET m very far
off, and Hades was personified before
me. The fastest steamers have 100
men to attend to their furnaces. They
must be kept going night and day, and
the labor is very hard. The furnaces
are so hot that the men must drink
great quantities of water, and here they
mix the water with oatmeal, and each
man consumes gallons daily. This is
necessary to keep up the perspiration.
In such heat if man cannot sweat
he will die.

On the Framing of Pictures.

The framing of engravings is mat
ter of great nicely. Firstly, the mar
gin should be cut to suit the size of the
picture. A vast "m meadow of white is
offensive to good taste, and tends to
dwarf the engraving portion. The
fashion of ebony frames with beading
of gilt is bold and harsh and funereal
in aspect where the engraving or etch-
ing is large. The simple square-edged
frame of oak unvarnished, with a slight
inner rabbit of gold, is about the best
and most suitable; but here again the
tone of the wall must be considered.-
But whatever the color or character of
the frame for the engraving or etching,
it must not be elaborate.
